Lauri Markkanen's historic numbers could be a red flag for the Jazz

Lauri Markkanen's play has been a revelation despite the fact that he was already a revelation for them only three years ago. Playing at a historic level, Markkanen is joining the likes of some of the Jazz's very best ever. In this case, it's Adrian Dantley, and while being put in the same group as a Hall of Famer is amazing, it's not exactly the ringing endorsement that one would think.

For context, it was confirmed the other night that Markkanen is averaging 30 points a night 13 games into the season. He's the first Jazzman to do that since Dantley, who did it three times when he played for the Jazz.
